Just realized I forgot to link gemserv. My bad.

Just my two cents,

4. Use literally any other Gemini server. gemserv[1], for instance, correctly implements PATH_INFO
(which is actually the issue here, since SCRIPT_PATH -> SCRIPT_NAME is as simple as figuring out
the base directory of the Gemini server) and SCRIPT_NAME (so you don't have to do the SCRIPT_PATH
trickery). There are others as well.

Again, gemserv and other servers have usable CGI implementations (including gemserv actually
implementing SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO).

Why, exactly? I get the fact that you can't name your library CGI.pm, but that doesn't really
warrant changing the name of an entire technology. :P
Just my two cents,
